In the heart of historic Istanbul
Palatium is shaped by a family tradition that reaches back more than six decades. Our roots in Sultanahmet began in 1994, and the craftsmanship, textiles, furnishings and character developed through those years later became part of the restaurant we opened here in 2010.
Today, Palatium brings that heritage together with Turkish cuisine, hospitality and the unique atmosphere of this historic corner of Istanbul.
Enjoy an unforgettable dining experience that blends history with modern flavors.
